• Are you a new family looking to give your child the gift of dance this season? We're offering a special, reduced $10 Registration Fee for new dancers who register during the month of December and plan to start class in January. January is a wonderful time to join our studio. Enroll in an existing class and still perform in our June 3rd "Spark in our Heart" Showcase, or consider our 6-Week Winter Program with a Ballet+Tumble Class option for 3 and 4 year olds.
  

• It's not too late to add a class for current dancers, either! We offer deep discounts for additional classes for the same dancer and your child benefits from the more regular consistency in their training, too. PLUS! Current families who add a class in December or January can take advantage of our delayed Costume Fee payment schedule. Costume Fees for new classes will be due February 15th so you don't have to worry about the added fees during the holidays. It's easy to add a class in your Online Account - or e-mail us to schedule a trial class.
  

• Your dancer is NOT going to want to miss our annual New Year's Eve-Eve Dance Party! Take a Jazz Master Class with Ms. Arden and learn a Rockettes-Inspired Kickline Countdown to 2023 on Friday, December 30th. Register in your online account under the Events Section. Register before December 9th to receive a FREE wrapped gift and invitation for you to put under your tree. *6-8 Year Olds - 10:30am-12:00pm - $20 *9+ Year Olds - 10:30am-12:00pm - $20
  

• 2023 Brings our back our bi-annual WINTER WORKSHOP WEEKEND on January 27-29th with three intensive days of dance training, choreography, and whole-dancer education including nutrition and body positivity work. Dancers will work closely with guest teachers and clinicians and prepare an additional dance work to perform on stage at our June 3rd Showcase. 3rd-5th Grade Dancers are invited to register for the Intermediate Track and Middle/High School Dancers are invited to register for the Advanced Track. Register in your online account under the Events Section - space is limited! Register before November 30th to receive a FREE wrapped gift and invitation for you to put under your tree.
